Final checklist for my review!

[c-joly]

Hi @costashatz , these are some general comments about my review on JOSS https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/6771

I have tested the main functionalities of Robot_DART, this is quite impressive; FYI :

• I successfully ran a simulation with one and several robots
• I succeeded to play with the pendulum and changed some physical parameters (added friction, changed the type of actuator…)
• I validated the physical behavior of the pendulum in the simulation, since its behavior is easy to understand :-)
• I made some collisions between two pendulums, the simulator gave an appropriate result
• I could simulated in window and windowless mode, and ran several simulation in parallel
• I succeeded to save images and videos, including embedded videos at the end of the pendulum

Here are the few changes in the repository that I expect to validate the last bullet points of the checklist of my review :

• [ ] Installation: I am waiting for the updates in the MacOS installation script. Issue and PR related to this point:
  • #201
  • Pull request https://github.com/NOSALRO/robot_dart/pulls
• [ ] Installation instruction: I am expecting that some dependencies are mentioned in the doc (e.g. cmake, ffmpeg, supported version of Ubuntu...). Linked to the issues:
  • #202
  • #207
• [ ] Example usage: there are little problems with the examples that I would like to be solved:
  • #208
  • #210
  • #211
• [ ] Functionality documentation: The API documentation is not enough to understand all the possible ways to use Robot_DART. Then , there is no API for the Python bindings. I will not expect a full documentation of every function to validate the paper, but at least add a few more comments in the examples. Please also mention in the doc/FAQ the small bugs that can occur for Mac users. Issues related to this point:
  • #203
  • #204
  • #205
  • #209
  • #212
• [ ] Community guidelines: it is expected that you provide some instructions for people who want to contribute to the project or ask support. Can you add a section about this in the main README.md?

@c-joly Let us know if you are happy with our updates and feel free to close the issue when ready (and update your review) :)

Thank you again for the in depth comments that greatly improved our library and documentation. Highly appreciated!
